Background

KRAS G13D is an oncogenic mutant of the RAS family GTPase protein, characterized by a glycine-to-aspartic acid substitution at codon 13. this mutation disrupts the GTPase active center but retains partial intrinsic hydrolytic capacity, exhibiting conformational differences from G12 mutants. G13D locks KRAS in a constitutively GTP-bound active state, leading to aberrant activation of downstream MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways that promote cell proliferation and survival. Clinically significant, unlike G12 mutations, colorectal cancer patients harboring G13D mutations demonstrate favorable responses to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab, with relatively improved prognosis. This distinctive feature establishes G13D as a "special subtype" among KRAS mutations, and it has been incorporated into certain clinical guidelines as a potential beneficiary population for anti-EGFR therapy, underscoring the importance of genotype-guided therapeutic decision-making in precision medicine.

Protocol

Assay protocol

Principle: The GTPase Glo™ Assay assesses the activities of KRAS by detecting the amount of GTP remaining after GTP hydrolysis in a KRAS reaction.

Materials

1.KRAS(G13D) His Tag Protein, Human

2.GTPase Glo™ Assay (Promega, Catalog # V7681T)

3.Solid white multi-well plate (384-well plate) (Corning, Catalog #3572)

4.Plate Reader (PerkinElmer)

Produce

1.Prepare a 2X GTP solution containing 10 µM GTP and 2mM DTT in GTPase/GAP Buffer.

2.Dilute the KRAS to 100 µg/mL, 80 µg/mL and 60 µg/mL in GTPase/GAP Buffer and dispense 5 µL into each well of a 384 well plate.

3.Initiate the reaction by adding 5 µL of the 2X GTP solution prepared in Step 1 to each well. Include a 2X GTP solution with 5 µL GTPase/GAP Buffer as Blank. The reaction volume is 10 µL.

4.Incubate the reaction at room temperature (22-25℃) for 30 minutes.

5.Gently mix the thawed GTPase Glo™ Reagent, 500X, by inversion; do not vortex. Prepare the required volume of reconstituted GTPase Glo™ Reagent by increasing or decreasing the component volumes provided below.

6.Add 10 µL of reconstituted GTPase-Glo™ Reagent to the completed reaction, mix briefly and incubate with shaking for 30 minutes at room temperature (22–25℃).

7.Add 20 µL of Detection Reagent and incubate the plate for 5-10 minutes at room temperature (22–25℃).

8.Read at emission wavelengths of 555 nm (luminescence), respectively in endpoint mode.

9.Calculate specific activity.
